Console.BackgroundColor Property

Definition

Gets or sets the background color of the console.

public static ConsoleColor BackgroundColor { get; set; }

Public Shared Property BackgroundColor As ConsoleColor

Property Value

A value that specifies the background color of the console; that is, the color that appears behind each character. The default is black.

Attributes

Exceptions

The color specified in a set operation is not a valid member of ConsoleColor.

The user does not have permission to perform this action.

An I/O error occurred.

Examples

The following example saves the values of the ConsoleColor enumeration to an array and stores the current values of the BackgroundColor and ForegroundColor properties to variables. It then changes the foreground color to each color in the ConsoleColor enumeration except to the color that matches the current background, and it changes the background color to each color in the ConsoleColor enumeration except to the color that matches the current foreground. (If the foreground color is the same as the background color, the text isn't visible.) Finally, it calls the ResetColor method to restore the original console colors.

using System;

class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Get an array with the values of ConsoleColor enumeration members.
      ConsoleColor[] colors = (ConsoleColor[]) ConsoleColor.GetValues(typeof(ConsoleColor));
      // Save the current background and foreground colors.
      ConsoleColor currentBackground = Console.BackgroundColor;
      ConsoleColor currentForeground = Console.ForegroundColor;

      // Display all foreground colors except the one that matches the background.
      Console.WriteLine("All the foreground colors except {0}, the background color:",
                        currentBackground);
      foreach (var color in colors) {
         if (color == currentBackground) continue;

         Console.ForegroundColor = color;
         Console.WriteLine("   The foreground color is {0}.", color);
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
      // Restore the foreground color.
      Console.ForegroundColor = currentForeground;

      // Display each background color except the one that matches the current foreground color.
      Console.WriteLine("All the background colors except {0}, the foreground color:",
                        currentForeground);

         Console.BackgroundColor = color;
         Console.WriteLine("   The background color is {0}.", color);
      }

      // Restore the original console colors.
      Console.ResetColor();
      Console.WriteLine("\nOriginal colors restored...");

Remarks

A change to the BackgroundColor property affects only output that is written to individual character cells after the background color is changed. To change the background color of the console window as a whole, set the BackgroundColor property and call the Clear method. The following example provides an illustration.

using System;

   public static void Main()
   {
      WriteCharacterStrings(1, 26, true);
      Console.MoveBufferArea(0, Console.CursorTop - 10, 30, 1,
                             Console.CursorLeft, Console.CursorTop + 1);
      Console.CursorTop = Console.CursorTop + 3;
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key...");
      Console.ReadKey();

      Console.Clear();
      WriteCharacterStrings(1, 26, false);
   }

   private static void WriteCharacterStrings(int start, int end,
                                             bool changeColor)
   {
      for (int ctr = start; ctr <= end; ctr++) {
         if (changeColor)
            Console.BackgroundColor = (ConsoleColor) ((ctr - 1) % 16);

         Console.WriteLine(new String((char)(ctr + 64), 30));
      }
   }
}

      For ctr As Integer = start To _end
         If changeColor Then
            Console.BackgroundColor = CType((ctr - 1) Mod 16, ConsoleColor)
         End If      
         Console.WriteLine(New String(Convert.ToChar(ctr + 64), 30))

A get operation for a Windows-based application, in which a console does not exist, returns ConsoleColor.Black. Unix systems don't provide any general mechanism to fetch the current console colors. Because of that, BackgroundColor returns (ConsoleColor)-1 until it is set in explicit way (using the setter).
